Art Students in Paris,

Wherever art students do congregate there
you may always hear wonderful stories of
saving the sou. Over their cafe noir and
cigarette, inevitable conclusion to their simple
dinner, they discuss with equal ease the latest
masterpiece of Bonnat or Bougoreau and the
newest thing in cheap restaurants. In the
same breath they mourn as lost an extra sou
given in pourboire and the missing arms of
the Venus de Milo. One young sculptor tells
how he beats up his clay, while another ex-

Ex-senator Bruce is making his headquar-
tiers in New York at one of the up town
hotels this winter. He is lecturing with fair
success, and is engaged in some literary work
touching on the coored people. Mr.. Bruce
says that his treatment at the hotels in New
York is precisely that accorded to white
guests. Respectable, well dressed colored
men, of quiet, unassuming manners, he as
serts, have nothing whatever to complain of
either in travelling or in the large cities of the
north. Ex-Governor Pinchback comes on
from New Orleans to New York two or three
times year. He always buys whole sleep
ing car section, loads the seats with papers
and novels and only leaves the cars to get his
meals. He always stops at the Hoffman,
takes one of the best parlors in the house and
is one of the most respected guests. Pinch
back differs from Bruce in two respects
Pinchback never associates with colored
people; Bruce does. Then again Pinchback
is a sporting man; Bruce is not. Pinchback
attends all the great circuit races with well
loaded pocketbook, is a shrewd buyer Of
pools, and mis- tips are eagerly sought Bruce
Is Of literary turn, and believes that through
literature the colored men will be able to
make their way to social recognition--New

A Lawyer Earning His Fees.

Il was criminal lawyer in this city for six
years." said well known member of the
bar, land had very large business, making
a good deal of money. But l would not
go back to criminal practice for five times
what l am making at the present time. A
criminal lawyer cannot call his soul his own,
nor minute of his time He has to handle
all sorts of bad characters in all sorts of ways
and advise with or defend them in all sorts Of
scrapes. If these gentry confined their atten-
tons to the day time and paid their visits
only at ones Office they could be endured
But they don't. They are after you at all
hours of the night They drag you out of
bed, away from your meals, call YOU out
of church. I've been routed out Of my sleep
three times in night to find bail for crook
clients-of men who had been 'pinched'
.Aside from the unpleasant feeling that
one has that he is selling his brain, body and
talents to social outcasts, and the distasteful-
ness of these low associates which rapidly
grows Oh one, there is the more practical
objection that You have to take pay in all
sorts of booty-watches which You know
have been stolen, diamonds that lave been
sneaked and money that has been purloined
from the pockets of its rightful owners Let
those have the criminal business that like il
or need it want no more of it in mine"

Demand for Carbolio Acid.

There has been within the last mouth q
most astonishing advance in the price of car
bolic acid. 1t was stationary at thirty cents
per pound, but it went steadily up to forty
five cents, and then made sudden bound
few days ago to fifty-five cents. The cause
Of this is the purchase of ,000, 900 pounds by
the French government, the agents for which
have been for some time secretly buying up
all of it they could find in England Germany
and Scotland 1t appears that carbolic acid
is largely used in the manufacture Of melen-
lite, the new explosive which sprung into ex-
istence at the first rumor of war among the
great powers of Europe. The main supply
comes from Germany, and the purchases Of
that country must have been very secret in
deed.-Globe- Democrat

New York Society People in Washing
ton-Nuisances From Abroad.
The attitude Of New York society people
toward Washington is peculiar, and they
show their bumptious provincialism in
dozen ways. One New York woman who has
spent couple of seasons here remarked kindly
that she could see a great Improvement in
the art of dinner giving since she came to
Washington. "Of course New York dinners
sc always been perfect. but here it is quite
:. ,cw thing, you know, this dinner giving"
y. 5 her bland remark. When repeated to a
/. " Washington hostesses who have been
: ing dinners for score Of years there was
q. immediate TEMPEST in tea pot. New
Workers have the coolest way of making just
such speeches about Washington, and assum-
ing an air of condescension as if it were very
kind in them to be amused by the capitals
doings; vet at the same time they make all
these pretensions they come here and go to the
greatest lengths to get into the full swim Of
society.
New Workers have always led in the army
Of anglomaniacS that infest the city, but even
the anglomaniacs have had n trial this winter
by having two nuisances from England an
noy people beyond measure. The pair were
taken up rapturously by their first discover
ers, and were introduced at several exclusive
houses, from which they could not be dis
lodged, when it was finally discovered that
they were rude and impudent and pushing
people, upon whom snubs had no effect. As
admirers of art they went around different
parlors, examining and criticising pictures
with appalling GOODNESS Having marched
into one house where they knew there was
portrait by Bonnat, and where they had no
introduction whatever, they demanded to be
shown the Bonnat, much with the air of
stage robber demanding the treasure box.
Il Gen. Sheridan's house they asked to see
T. portrait, and coolly said it was "horrid-"
Z think it very good portrait" said Mrs
5 .eridan, quietly, who found the English
couple the most extraordinary of the crowds
who had called on that particular reception
day.

general?" inquired the English woman, with
cool impertinence.

Mrs. A. T. Stewards Artistic Taste,

"They say Mrs Stewart didn't like pic
tlres;" this from fresh checked, tailor made
damsel with a gorgeous crimson and yellow
tulip in her buttonhole; "they say she never
went into the gallery in that Fifth avenue
marble dungeon of hers unless it rained and
she could find no other place to exercise in.

again and again pacing up and down the
floor, shawl over her head and her eyes cast
down, never looking once at an ancient or q
modern master Of them all. Some of them,

paid for any picture before at public or pri-
vate sale in this country. "They say she dis

had grudge against it that had lasted for
years, and next il she had a horror of the

SOMETHING ABOUT BALD HEADS.

A Physician States Alarming Facts About
Badness and Gives a Remedy.
"Bald headed men die sooner than those
who possess full head of hair" said physi-
clan to a reporter the other day. "Then,
doctor, your life is shortened" interposed the
reporter.
a have adopted protector, you see; the
skull can. If l have no hair to cover my
Uranium, do the next best thing, and use
warm cap. never go bald headed, no mat
ter where I am, and by that means 1 never
take cold. The majority of men who have
bald heads wear nothing to protect the ex-
posed surface, not even wig. The result is,
many of them take cold and go off with
pneumonia or contract some deep seated dis
ease like bronchitis or consumption. Yet If
l told bald headed man to wear something
warm on the exposed spot he would, nine
times out of ten, pay no attention to my
warning. It is a growing cause of increased
mortality, and deserves great attention both
from scientists and empirical laymen.
BALD heads are the sign posts sof hi.,h
@sthetical civilization and at the same time
the epitaphs of a physical degeneration.
Luxury, ease, comfort, nigh living and
hereditary characteristics have to be taken
into consideration when Analysing the prob
lem of bald heads. If the future race is to
be devoid Of hair, then it must necessarily be
short lived one, because more susceptible to
sickness. l have noted many cases Of pneu-
monia, and where the patient is a MI lie over
40 years old the proportion is over one-half in
favor Of being bald headed. Whenever l
have bald headed patient | never rest until
be consents to wear a skull cap. If the hair
was no protection to man he would have
been created without any, and his skin made
tough and thick to stand the weather. The
wise provisions made to insure perfect physi-
cal comfort never contemplated a period in
the worlds history when a man should go
about with his head slick as a peeled onion.
The man who does it repeatedly sooner or
later pays the penalty.
my argument against going about with
the scalp exposed is merely from a hygienic
point of view and not because of any false
notions about how it makes person look
Old men, middle aged men, gilded youths and
unfortunate womankind, if you are bald,
don't grieve over the inevitable, but wear
something warm and upon all occasions
Your days will be longer in the land and
your progeny will be less apt to inherit the
hairless tendency."-New York Mail and

You are the prettiest girl in the world, my dear,
With your creamy cheeks and your lustrous
eyes,
And your sweet, curved mouth, and your small,
pink ear,
And your artless look of surprise.
You are the daintiest girl In the world my dear,
From your kidded foot to your Grecian head;
Your smile is IS sweet, your laugh is as clear,
As if were living, not dead.
And your heart is as light, and empty, my dear,
As the ring you yesterday flung aside.
For him-poor fellowl-would drop tear,
But have not wept-since died.
Though am here at your side as you walk
Broadway,
You know it not. Still love you-and yet,
Iwonder whose heart you will break to-day,
And tomorrow, dainty coquettef
All! and wonder, too. as we hurry along.
When the tears to your aching eyes win start.
They are fearless now. Your power is strong,
But-the man who will break your heart!

TAKEN FROM THE DEPTHS.
In this sad world of OUTS

In this sad world Of ours-
Ibis dreary wilderness Of care and pain,
This mystery this turmoil of unrest,
This rough and stormy pathway to the tomb
Where many tears and Turing shadows fall
How sweet, Lord. to Know that we are thine;
That in thy hand this mighty chaos hes;
That thine the key of this great mystery
We could not bear it else.
For as the years go by
One sorrow makes strange, prepared way
For yet another; one by one our joys
Are wreSted from US ere we cell them ours,
And sweetest human ties are severed wide,
And sweetest human cares slip from our grasp:
And dear home nests are robbed of all the birds.
And family trees are stripped Of flower and leaf;
And many graves lie greenly side by side,
And oceans roll between some we hold DEAR
Till with sad folded hands we sit and say,
How can God have it SO?
For human hearts viii cry out for their loves,
And human eyes seek duInbly for the smiles
Of angel faces gone.
God pity US!
Oh, wrap us in the fullness Of thy lowell
In infinite compassion lay thy hand
Upon our hearts. and make them very STILL
And since the cross is thine, oh, help US bear
1t very patiently until that blessed morn
When all the shades of night shall fee away.
When we shall clasp again the loved and lost,
And every severed bond shall join again;
Where in the light that circles round the throne,
In all his beauty all shall see the king.

ENCOURAGING TO LARGE FAMI-
LIES.

The result of census taken IN France
has just been announced. That nation,
it seems, has but little over 100000 Of
inhabitants and the increase Of popula-
ton, for thirty years past, has been less
than any other country in Europe.
French journals and publicists take this
matter very much to heart, as the Ger
mans, their great enemies, are increasing
rapidly. A law was passed not long
since to encourage large families. Every
seventh child was to be cared for and
educated by the state, without expense
to his parents; and now M. Fouquier adj
vocates the taxation of bachelors. But
he thinks that this negative inducement
to holy matrimony ought to be supple
mented by an inducement emphatically
positive. The father of a family, accord
ing to M. Fouquier's project, is to be al
lowed an additional vote, or at least an
additional fraction of a vote, for each ad-
ditional legitimate son or daughter pre-
sented to him by his wife. The state
must perish, according to this lively
publicist, unless it is firmly grounded
upon that equally necessary and equally
divine social organism the family.
This may seem absurd to Americans, but
the waste of human life, the preponder.
ance of deaths over births which is, true
of large cities everywhere, is beginning
to be equally marked in the rural dis
tricts of France. 1t is a curious fact
that as civilization progresses the num-
Der of births decreases. 1t is poor fam
lilies that are the most prolific; but, with
the increase of wealth and culture, fewer
children are born. The human fam
lily, in this regard, corresponds with
plant life. I'LL weeds" says the prov
erb. "thrive apace; but beautiful and rare
plants are hard to bear and rear. Ma
ture does not seem to be satisfied with an
inferior product, but when she
produces rare flower or superior hu-
man family, she rests contented with Der

There are many different types of beau
ty. There is the beauty Of youth which
all enjoy for a season; there is the beau
ty of form and color, which is the most
attractive form of beauty; there is the
beauty of intellect which sharpens and
refnes the most rugged features, and ro'
deems them from the charge of plainness;
and lastly, there is the highest beauty OF
all, the beauty of holiness, which comes
from close and frequent intercourse with
God, and is the reflection of his glory.
This is the beauty spoken of in the Acts
of the Apostles, when it is said that all
that sat in council, looking steadfastly at
Stephen, man full of faith and of pow
er and of the Holy Ghost, saw lis face
as it had been the face Of an angel"
The beauty of youth is feeting. Beau
tiful features are rare, and the most bril-
liant compilations fade. The beauty OF
intellect is rarer still; but the beauty of
holiness is within reach of all; all may &C.
quire that if they choose, and this is a
beauty that never fades, but daily in
creases. though the outer man may with
er and decay.
We see it sometimes illuminating the
faces of the poorest and the Oldest, even
of the deformed and afflicted, as well as
of the young, whose natural beauty it
heightens and adornS; and when ever we
see it we may be sure that he or she who
possesses it is in the habit of holding in
tercourse with Coda child of prayer;
for it is prayer and meditation on holy
things which make the face as it were,
"the face of an angel,"-Se]eCted.
